Are there such apartments in Germany?

I just watched Baby on Netflix and Damiano is moving into his first apartment and I'm fascinated

It would be a dream of mine to live in such an apartment as a student, for example. However, I've never seen apartments like this before. Could one live in such an apartment or is there anything like that in Germany?

In case someone hasn't watched the series Here are a few pictures of the apartment.

In the picture it looks like the apartment on a shopping mall, because of the illuminated sign in the background, doesn't it?

Yeah, mine is something like that. The problem is with such large windows

the statics and
the heating of the rooms by the sun.

Statics is solved here in such a way that it is a steel frame construction, to which windows and walls are attached as prefabricated elements.

And for 2. You need air conditioning.

And Edding89 is right. It's not an industrial building, but it was built as an office building.

Thank you very much. May I ask whether you built the apartment yourself or bought the finished apartment (I hope you know what I mean). If so, that you bought an old building and then had it renovated, how did you find this building, since I'm already looking for an old building, but nothing at all that would somehow work

I have already partially answered. As I said, it was built as an office building in 1997 and was in a dilapidated state. One part was rented to a young woman with a child who did not pay rent or operating costs. You need a lot of energy and stamina to pull off something like that.

how did you find this building

That was a foreclosure auction. The purchase price was quite cheap. Then there was the renovation of the building, the renovation of a listed retaining wall and the renewal of the outdoor facilities. The fee counter is now at approx. 360,000 euro. That is still not overpriced for 274 m² and I had the money. I didn't have to ask anyone.

since I'm already looking

Look around foreclosures and look for commercial properties. However, being in a commercial area may mean that you are not allowed to live there.

Corona will not all survive economically. Then something works.
